17538Orphan Train ca 1878 - 1879http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.howard/799/mb.ashx
Hello!<br><br>I am looking for any information regarding the Orphan Train from the Children's Aid Society in New York City that brought children to Howard County in 1878-1879. The person I am researching is James Wilmot. He was placed with George W Carson in 1879 and later went to live with Hardin Maupin and his son James Maupin around 1889.<br><br>I just found out Wilmot was on an Orphan Train and research into the Orphan Train saga is an education in itself.<br><br>Any knowledge or links to the Orphan Train in Howard County around 1879 would be appreciated.<br><br>Thanks in advance for your consideration.<br><br>Jim2015-06-11 20:24:48ZJimJames26http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.howard/799/mb.ashxElijah Howard - Missourihttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.howard/797/mb.ashx
This guy is tough! I can't get beyond him, he is my great great grandfather. I've looked and looked and just have very little. I have found newspapers that refer to him as Lige and I have tried every variation of his name to find any records hinting to parents and/or siblings and have gotten no where. I have seen that people have linked John S. Howard as his dad but does anyone have any documents supporting that?<br><br>My link is Elijah &gt; Benjamin "Clate" Howard &gt; Richard Avin Howard &gt; My mother &gt; Me<br><br>Any tough information that has been found would be greatly appreciated!2015-04-09 18:26:03ZWhitney_Scott328http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.howard/797/mb.ashxHistorical Societyhttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.howard/796/mb.ashx
It has been suggested that I contact the Howard Co., MO Historical Society for help. My wife and I are from Texas. About ten years ago we tried to go to the Bradley Cemetery located there. It had been raining and the land owner, on who's property the cemetery was on, suggested we not try to go down the dirt road to the cemetery. So we left Mo without ever making it. My wife has both Willis's and Smith's buried there.<br>This past week, two members from "Find A Grave" went to the cemetery to inventory it. They said the cemetery was covered in brambles and the ground was frozen. They took pictures of five or ten headstones. They felt like there were others that were down on the ground, covered by these brambles that they could not find.<br>I am asking for help to see if anyone from the society would be interested in this project, on clearing out the brambles from this cemetery, finding the headstones, and taking pictures of them.<br>Thanks in advance for your concideration.<br>Sterling Parker2015-01-26 13:50:21Zpopsandgrandyhttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.howard/796/mb.ashxRe: Josiah Johnson, Nathaniel Moore, Julina Ann Johnsonhttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.howard/227.1/mb.ashx

I'm trying to find some information of Effie Potter. All I know is her names is Effie Myra or Myea Smith, she was born around 1877 in Kansas. Where in Kansas, I don't know but she married Pearle Wallace Potter (1866-1943) they divorced sometime between 1910 and 1920. Effie died after 1940 but I don't know exactly when. I would like to know if possible, along with where she's buried. Her last known residence was in Fayette, Howard, Missouri. I think her parents names are Robert F. Smith (1857-?) and Ann McAfee (1859-?) but I'm not 100% sure on that. Any information would be much appreciated!2014-07-26 03:41:54ZErinPavlishttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.howard/794/mb.ashxRe: Polly Howardhttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.howard/793.1/mb.ashx

Hello:<br>I am responding to posts of 2008 about Big Springs Cemetery. I was there today, and was able to drive up a very steep gravel drive and walk through the gate. It the most beautiful cemetery that my friend and I have ever seen, especially for the small size! It is Memorial Day weekend, and every single grave had some type of decoration. The cemetery was extremely well kept; mowed and carefully trimmed. There were no broken or damaged stones, like in most cemeteries. There is, however, no signs directing you up the drive where it lies. It is very difficult to find, unless you know where it is. But please do not assume that it is overgrown and filled with weeds, or in terrible shape. Today was stunning! It shows a GREAT deal of love and care.<br>Cindy Taylor2014-05-25 03:56:33Ztaylorci53http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.howard/678.2.1.1/mb.ashxPolly Howardhttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.howard/793/mb.ashx

I saw the location of Thomas Wall, NW1/4 of Section 29, Twp 55 Range 20 . <br> James Wall is SW 1/4 of Section 20, Twp 54 Range 20. That is still in Chariton co. You are still in the same Range, you go down to Twp 54 and find section 20. Go down to the road going west to Bosworth. From the West edge of the map go east 4 miles, just past the Railway track and you get the NW corner of section 20. James Wall's land is the SW 1/4 of that section. The road turns south along section 20, and there is his house just below the road in Section 20. James lives 4 1/2 miles straight south of Thomas. Now I believe David Wall's patent falls just above Chariton Co. on the south end. It is a reasonable clue that these are closely related.<br>If you have any information along these lines, It is welcome!<br>Warm Personal Regards<br>Paula at <a href="mailto://pfabionar@yahoo.com">pfabionar@yahoo.com</a> 209 95289482013-06-13 01:26:35Zpfabionarhttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.howard/792/mb.ashxWho were all of Lewis Miller's children ?http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.howard/791/mb.ashx
Lewis Miller married Elizabeth Betsey Yeates/Yates in 1808 Madison County, Kentucky. Some have him married to a Margaret Fisher in 1800 but this is not true because his family did not arrive in Kentucky until 1807 from Virginia. Lewis and Betsey had a daughter Mary Jane in about 1809 (she is on the 1810 census) and also mentioned in the Viney Fork Baptist church records with Lewis and Betsey. 1820 census shows Lewis in Madison County, KY with a wife, 1 male under 10 (james y. b. 1816) 2 females under 10 (Martha Ann b. 1819 and one unknown) 1 female 10-15 (Mary Jane) 1830 census Lewis, Elizabeth, 1 male 10-15 (James Y.), 1 male under 5 (unknown), 2 females 5-10 Hannah b. 1821 and 1 unknown) 2 females 10-15 Martha b. 1819 and 1(unknown) 1 female 15-20 Mary Jane. 1840 they are in Howard County, Missouri. Martha married Stephen Gibbs in Madison County in 1835 so she is not in this household (but she is in Howard County, MO). The children listed with Lewis and Betsey are 1 male 20-30 James Y., 1 male 10-15 (unknown) 1 female Hannah 15-20. What happened to Mary Jane and who are the others mentioned in the 1830 census? Does anyone in Howard County know who all of Lewis Miller's children were? I ordered information on the settlement of his estate 1867. He died intestate and the only relatives mentioned were his son James Y. Miller administrator and his so in-law Stephen Gibbs and friend Boyd McCrary surety, there was no settlement mentioned or names of his children. I have checked marriage records for Madison county, KY and Howard County, MO but came up with nothing other than Hannah married Nathaniel Bullock in 1847 in MO and Martha's marriage in Madison County, KY. Any information would be greatly appreciated.2013-04-08 05:36:51ZDMeierotto9473http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.howard/791/mb.ashxRe: Jennie MILLERhttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.howard/790.2/mb.ashx

Hi,<br><br>I was very pleased to see your query about Alexander Mitchell.<br><br>Thank you for posting both the information from the "Stubbs of Cappahosic" book (which I have) and the "Biographical Sketches of Howard County Missouri" (to keep both titles short).<br><br>I have tried for years to track the Rev. Alexander Mitchell, with very little success. There WAS an Alexander Mitchell who was a minister in Alabama in the mid 1800s, but the facts didn't add up.<br><br>Looking at the two pieces of information you have shared, along with what I've been able to find for confirmation in census records, etc., I'm with you.<br><br>What reason would Alexander Mitchell or his family have to give John Mitchell and Mildred Stubbs as his parents unless it were true? Also all his siblings for whom I have found death dates did indeed predecease him.<br><br>Although I have yet to find a single source in my research that can be counted on as the absolute truth (including birth certificates, death certificates and tombstones), in this case I believe the biographical sketch written in 1876 is more plausible than the genealogy written from afar 26 years later.<br><br>If you are a descendant of Alexander Mitchell, I'd love to learn more about your branch.<br><br>Sincerely,<br><br>Sarah DuVal<br>2011-06-21 00:16:45Zsarahduvalhttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.howard/767.1/mb.ashxmiller de witt clintonhttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.howard/780/mb.ashx

Hello, I am wondering if you can help me. I am researching our Sullivan family Line. They lived in the Missouri area from the 1850s through the turn of the century. We are not sure of the eldest parents names but understand that they passed away sometime during the Civil War in the Pest House near Ironton, Missouri. We were also told that this "Pest House" was later referred to as the "Poor Farm". They had several children that were taken in by various family and area people following their parent's death from the Small Pox. Two of the children were William Victor Sullivan (born in Dec 1859) and his brother, John L. Sullivan (born in August 1856). We believe there were two sisters, N.Nancy and Elizabeth (Lizzie). We believe there may have been others but can't be sure. William was reportedly born in Liberty, Iron County, Missouri and in all likliness, so were his siblings. We would love to know more about the family should anyone know. William Victor Sullivan married Etta Caroline Braswell, Lizzie married Nathan Oneal. A small note that a cousin has shared has some information written on it that, "the Sullivans were buried near the "Ivester Farm". We are not sure if there may be a cemetery there somewhere or that they were buried on what is now "private property". We would love to discover the whereabouts of their final resting place. Other families associated are the "Carnahans" Stevenson or Stepherson" "Hubble" "Oneal" and "MCfadden" Should you have any information, please email me at <a href="mailto://glendalecrazy@aol.com">glendalecrazy@aol.com</a> or give me a call at 406-465-5667. Any information would be greatly appreciated.2012-05-06 22:55:53ZStormymontanahttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.howard/783/mb.ashxRe: Mary Belle Leveridge Harrishttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.howard/771.1.1/mb.ashx
Thanks, everything point to robert mcdonald harris being born march 20,1844 in Illinois but I can't find anything to support it. I only have him showing up living at Reuben Leveridge's and later marrying Mary Belle. As for Mary Belle's death you are most likely right on but again I can't find anything to support it(death cert, burial, place of death). It would seem since she was born in Howard county and never left this wouldn't be a problem.

Thank you so much! The house was very near Lisbon so I think it must have been Rose Hill School. That's the best I can come up with based on what I've seen. Her last name was Twitchell so if you see any variety of spellings, that's probably her, however there are some doubts about whether or not she actually taught in the schools in Howard County.

Howard County was created under an act of the general assembly, approved on January 13, 1816. It was named for Benjamin Howard, first Missouri Territory governor. Howard County was the ninth organized county in the Missouri Territory and was created from the counties of St. Louis and St. Charles.<br><br>Although it is much smaller today, when originally organized, Howard County comprised nearly 22,000 square miles - about one-third as large as the present state of Missouri. Obviously, Howard County is not that large today. The following counties (or parts of counties) were at first part of Howard County: Adair; Boone; Caldwell; Carroll; Chariton; Clay; Clinton; Cole; Cooper; Daviess; DeKalb; Gentry; Grundy; Harrison; Henry; Johnson; Lafayette; Linn; Livingston; Macon; Mercer; Moniteau; Morgan; Pettis; Putnam; Randolph; Ray; Saline; Sullivan; Worth; the northern parts of Benton, Miller, and St. Clair; and possibly parts of Audrain, Monroe, and Shelby. Also, the following counties (or parts of counties) in Iowa were at first part of Howard County: Clarke; Decatur; Ringgold; Union; Wayne; parts of Adams and Taylor; and probably parts of Appanoose, Lucas, and Monroe.<br><br>I do find William Hamilton Adams in Prairie Township in 1850 and 1860.2011-10-18 13:49:22Zdavidtodd42http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.howard/776.1/mb.ashxRe: miller de witt clintonhttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.howard/780.1/mb.ashx
According to the book "Howard County Cemetery Records" compiled by Louise Coutts and Karen Boggs, Dewitt C. Miller was born 3-9-1836 and died 12-5-1903. He and Margaret are buried at Smiths Chapel Cemetery. This is listed as Smith Chapel on findagrave. Since Dewitt died in 1903, he died before death certificates were posted by the State of Missouri. These were started in 1910, which is the year Margaret died.<br>I hope this helps.<br>Harold Kerr, President<br>Howard County MO Genealogical Society2012-05-30 03:58:18Zbucman89http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.howard/780.1/mb.ashxRe: Will look-up for John Adamshttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.howard/782.1/mb.ashx

HI,<br><br>I read with interest your post that mentioned Randolph and Margaret Kirkland White. I'm researching the Cooley family from Casey Co., KY and later Howard Co., MO. I have come across a Elizabeth White, daughter of Randolph and Margaret, who married John Cooley on June 2, 1816 in Howard County.

Would you share? <br><br>You also mentioned that Randolph was living next to John Cooley in 1820. YOu said, "I pretty much have all of them figured out!" Do you mean the Cooleys? I have info about the Cooleys but need more! Could we share info?

Appreciate your quick response on Howard County history, indicating that the original Howard might be present day some other county.

I am not a Fisher researcher, but the info I have is:<br>Samuel Fisher first married Sarah Ann Asbury in Clinton County, Ohio in 1845. They moved to Howard County, MO around 1845. (They had 5 children). Sarah died around 1856 and Samuel Fisher married Amanda Bussel (born about 1842). Their children were: Mary Mollie Louisa Fisher (married John Lindsey Len Ware), Julia Ann Fisher, Elvira Isabella S. Fisher (who married Wm F. Ragan), John Samuel Fisher, Celestia Adelina Fisher (married to Thomas Patterson) and Frank Burton Fisher.<br>(I am taking most of this from someone else's research, so please verify it.)<br><br>Samuel Fisher had a brother John Fisher who also moved from Clinton County, Ohio at the same time. He married Cynthia Asbury (Sarah's sister), but she died around 1845 and John Fisher then married Cynthia Myers in Howard County, MO. (These two Cynthia Fishers had me perplexed for a while.)<br><br>Samuel Fisher was in the Union 9th Missouri State Militia Cavalry, Company A.
